R&D Projects
SCOTSMAN PRO SERIES HEADS
Another project in the works is a newly designed PRO-SERIES head. This seems to be an on-going project here. Working for NEWEN has opened many new doors for Charlie. He has had the chance to work with many talented people with the development of racing cylinder heads. Over the past year, he has seen many interesting ways to enhance air-flow and port velocity. The main area of the PRO-SERIES head we are working on is the intake port. A Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine has a short length port. The problem with this port design is the tight radius on the floor of the port. A few years ago, we introduced our VORTEC HEAD. This head worked really well, but the problem with it was that it was a very labor-intensive head to build. Now, getting back to the new PRO-SERIES head, we are designing a wing that is welded in the intake port. This wing is designed to enhance air-flow on the tight radius. So far the results are slow in coming for the amount of time it takes to machine this port.
V-ROD DESTROYER
Furthermore, we are working on our V-ROD DESTROYER cylinder head. We are working in two areas on the DESTROYER cylinder head. The first area we have addressed is eliminating the head from cracking between the intake valve seats. We have designed new non-beryllium copper valve seats that eliminate head cracking and keep the seats from falling out. If you ever get chance to see a work of art, look at a any V-ROD cylinder head. These heads flow more air than any head out there. There isn’t much magic on the intake side of these heads, so we are working on the exhaust port, where we are welding a reversion dam on the floor of the port. This is helping in exhaust air-flow and stopping the exhaust reversion pulse. SKIP TAYLOR RACING has one of our new head designs and has broke into the 8 second bracket!
